This company completed its organization on
March 7, 1862, at Hamburg, Ashley county, Arkansas, and enlisted in the
Confederate service on March 15, 1862. It was assigned to Lieutenant-Colonel
Batt L. Jones’ 8th Arkansas Infantry Battalion as Company G on April 9.
As a result of the battalion’s reorganization a month later, the Ashley
Light Infantry was redesignated as Company F on May 10, 1862, and retained
this designation until the battalion was consolidated in 1864. The
first captain of the company was Micajah R. Wilson. Upon his promotion
to major, he was succeeded as captain by William G. Rolfe.

About the roster of Company F: As with
all the companies of the 8th Arkansas Battalion, the official records of
this company are incomplete. About 65 men can be positively identified
as being members of this company. Most of them were from Ashley county,
with a few from neighboring Bradley, Chicot and Drew counties. There
may be as many as 15 more members of this company who cannot now be identified.
